What were the issues between the US and Mexico before they went to war???

History
1 answer:
lesya [120]4 years ago
5 0
The main issue between the US and Mexico was the American Southwest and whom it should belong to. Mexico had held this land since their separation from the Spanish Empire, and the US wanted to buy it for $30 million, but Mexico staunchly refused to sell. Also, US citizens (including former US Congressman David Crockett) had fought and died fighting for the Republic of Texas, and after ten years Texas had recently become a US state. The disputed Tex-Mex border then became an issue for the US. Also, in the opinion of this contributor, religion may have been an issue. Christians were no longer fighting official wars over religion, but it probably did not help that the US was Protestant and Mexico was Catholic. And Manifest Destiny was likely part of the picture. Mexico was not developing the Southwest, but Mexico's refusal to sell the land prevented the US from gaining a firm hold on the Pacific coast.

The lack of which of the following represents scarcity? orange juice because the trucks carrying it are on strike enough workers
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The lack of orange juice represents scarcity.

Explanation:

This is because scarcity is the lack of product, not the lack of demand. Since there is a limited supply of workers then it is less likely to be produced in large quantities, making it scarce because there is not enough of the product to meet the demand. Furthermore, the grapefruit juice cannot be considered scarce because although there is a low demand, the product's production is not threatened in any way, so there is enough of it to satisfy the demand.

What three major acts of Congress most affected the relationship between tribal government and the United States government?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

  1. Demarcation of indigenous lands.
  2. Permission of political rights for indigenous peoples.
  3. Indian Reorganization Act formulation

Explanation:

In 1887 the American Congress promoted the demarcation of indigenous lands. The demarcation promoted the existence of indigenous reserves, where the natives had to move to a specific territory that was demarcated as an indigenous reserve. This act greatly weakened the relationship between the Americans and the indigenous tribes, since the tribes saw this act as harmful. During that time, the indigenous people were subjected to a forced assimilation by American culture. Children were forced to study in regular schools, where they were punished for wearing the typical clothes of their tribes, or to speak their native languages, for example.

In 1924, the congress decided to provide political rights to indigenous people through the Citizenship Act. At that time, indigenous people were considered American citizens. This act was not welcomed by the indigenous community, which was afraid that it would take away the status of the indigenous community as the original community of that country.

In 1934, the congress approved the Indian Reorganization Act, which allowed tribes to adopt their own constitutions, giving indigenous people the right to discuss their territories, conditions for obtaining tribe member status, the possibility of establishing powers, documents, eligibility, among other rights.
